A1 Coaching

Lachlan Morton joins me to share why he stepped out of the WorldTour peloton to ride his own path—swapping podiums for gravel, bikepacking, and real adventure. We dig into joy over metrics, why enjoyment is essential for long-term participation, and how performance culture can overshadow the ride. Lachlan talks ultra cycling resilience, the camaraderie of bikepacking, and how filming can distort authenticity. We cover navigation as a superpower, the tech that actually helps route finding, and why training should stay fun—not overstructured. From exploring new routes to tackling endurance events, Lachlan’s focus is clear: ride for meaning, community, and discovery.A BIG shoutout to our incredible sponsors - ⁠⁠Parlee Cycles ⁠⁠"Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...
